Lifting and Handling
Tractel® invented the – now famous – tirfor® in the 1940’s, the world’s first manual pass-through wire rope hoist. Recognized for its strength, durability and ease of use, the tirfor® is ideal for long pulls in harsh environments. Fast and easy to use, you’ll have less downtime on your worksite with a tirfor®.
Tractel® has since become a world leading manufacturer of pass-through electrical wire rope hoists, with famous brands such as minifor™ and tirak™ – often copied, never equalled. In addition, we offer a complete range of manual and electrical chain hoists, clamps, pulleys and hooks, as well as ground handling equipment. No matter the weight, position or shape of your load, we have the equipment you need to safely and efficiently handle it.
Bringing Life to Buildings
Tractel®’s elevator experience puts it at the forefront of providing safe, reliable and easy-to-use equipment for installation and maintenance.
A complete product range, combined with extensive expertise and experience in compliance to standards, as well as references with the demanding elevator installations around the globe, make Tractel® the perfect partner.
Our complementary product ranges cover a wide variety of applications such as man-riding hoists and pulleys for elevator shafts, height safety personal protective equipment and material handling equipment.
Different products can be brought together in different combinations, as required, to satisfy your particular project requirements and specifications.
